Evidence References & Records: Connect external proof without binary lock-in.
Maintain an auditable, structured index of production proof, cloud telemetry references, and external workpaper links. Point directly to your existing systems of record (AWS, Okta, GitHub, Jira) while preserving complete clear chain of custody for external auditors.
Why Centralized Binary Upload Vaults Fail Modern Security
Storing duplicate corporate files in a multi-tenant compliance vendor's database creates unmanageable attack surfaces, version drift, and massive migration overhead.
Duplicate PDFs, Data Leaks & Orphaned Files
- Security & Data Leak Exposure: Uploading sensitive production logs, IAM dumps, and architecture diagrams into a 3rd party vendor database increases corporate blast radius.
- Instant Version Drift: The moment a PDF or screenshot is uploaded, it is severed from live AWS, Okta, or Jira repositories, becoming obsolete within hours.
- High-Friction Manual Toil: Engineers spend hundreds of hours manually downloading screenshots from cloud dashboards just to drag-and-drop into bloated compliance tools.
Point Directly to Authoritative Systems of Record
- Zero Binary Data Migration: Proof lives safely inside your customer-owned AWS S3 buckets, Okta system logs, GitHub commits, and internal Confluence spaces.
- External Payload Tracking: OMNiGRC registers external reference URLs and pointer metadata. Any drift or unapproved change is logged in the structured application event log.
- Automated Cadence Lifecycles: Directly linked to Compliance Board review intervals (30/60/90 days or Continuous), alerting owners when evidence freshness expires.
The 4-Step External Evidence Governance Pipeline
Discover & Point
Ingest or link external URIs: customer S3 ARNs, Jira ticket keys, Okta log export queries, or signed Git commit SHAs.
Advisory AI Crosswalk
Advisory AI analyzes URI semantics and metadata to propose matching SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA control clauses. Human signs off.
Assign Cadence & Owner
Bind the pointer to a technical custodian and testing cadence (30d, 90d, Annual). Triggers proactive re-attestation alerts.
Auditor Workpapers
Package verified references into time-restricted, read-only workpaper dossiers for independent CPA firm or ISO registrar review.
